Claire Huxtable Actress To Play Lesbian

This will be quite the change for Phylicia Rashad, who played Claire Huxtable for years.  She has been cast as a lesbian lead character in a new series called For Justice.  This is how CBS describes the role:

Georgina Howe, the head of the FBI’s Civil Rights Division and a “savvy Washington player” experienced in DC’s bare-knuckle brawling after a career spent overcoming discrimination based on her race and sexual orientation.
